Great house and location right on the beach. Easily fit a group of 12 (adults and teens), and the property manager is very responsive to any questions.
Our 4 families (ranging in age from adult to 3 years old) had a phenomenal time at the Sandy Bum house. The house was perfect for our large group and was well stocked with all of the toys needed to enjoy both the pool and the beach. The pool, hot tub, cabana, bunk room, exercise room and beach were a hit for all!!
House was a nice in person as in the pictures. House manager did an excellent job. Plenty of room for the family. And the kids had a great time in the pool, hot tub, and beach. Close proximity to airport and Georgetown.

Thank you for the feedback. It means a lot to us especially knowing you've stayed at other places on the island. We look forward to your next trip!
This property has everything else. Beautiful location, great owners, and a fabulous property manager. The home is spacious and modern with a well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed the jacuzzi after spending our days on the boat and we played pool every night after dinner. We hope to stay here again!!

Sandy Bum is an amazing property. The house and cabana are so veautiful and thoughtfully designed. Our group of 11 adults, a 6 yr old and 2 toddlers were all comfortable in the nicely appointed beddrooms.
The owners communications were amazing and thorough, answering all our questions and anticipating our needs.

So happy you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to welcoming you back anytime.
Sandy Bum was a perfect home for our family of 15. When we started talking about our family vacation my husband wanted to create an experience that would result in a memory. The communication from the homeowner down to the property manager was very helpful. All of the recommendations were based on what we wanted to do and see. We are so happy with our choice and would highly recommend Sandy Bum to anyone. Thank you
Everything about our stay was perfect. The house is beautiful. Pool and hot tub were used a lot. We cooked on the outdoor grill a couple of nights and it was great. Played a lot of pool and games in the evenings. We also did a little crabbing on the beach at night. We have some athletic folks in our group. They ran on the beach and worked out in the gym. One night we had Chef Kristant along with his mom, Momma Bear and Chef's sister prepare dinner. Food was yummy! Would highly recommend Sandy Bum!

Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Sandy Bum. We look forward to having you back!
Our large family group (young children to grandparents) enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sandy Bum! We enjoyed the beachfront, pool, and wonderful home for a week. The owner, Neil, was exceptional in communicating with us ahead of our trip with island and home information that allowed us to plan things during our stay such as a boat excursion, private in-home chefs, and in-home massages. The property manager, Esther, was equally amazing and available throughout our trip for questions and check-ins.
Thank you to both of them for creating and maintaining a wonderful property on this beautiful island!
We look forward to our next trip to Sandy Bum!!
My dad treated my siblings and our families to the trip of a lifetime at Sandy Bum. We travelled as a group of 19 – 10 adults and 9 kiddos (aged from 14 to 1 year).
It's a truly special spot - with spectacular views and all the comforts of home. We felt so taken care of. The owners have truly thought of everything and it made our stay that much more special. The kids especially loved the beach toys, pool floaties, and bunk room.
We’ve stayed at a ton of vacation rentals and Sandy Bum was our best experience, hands down. Fingers crossed we're lucky enough to visit again.

So happy to hear three generations were able to come together under one roof and make memories!
We rented the property for 16. It had so much space and was well stocked. We enjoyed it so much. The pictures don’t do it justice. We spent several days on boat tours but the days at the house were equally amazing. The young adults loved the lower level with gym and pool table as a place to hang together at night away from the parents. The staff was nice and attentive and helped us when we had questions. Wanted to rebook immediately!!

We love that you enjoyed your time in our home and on the island. We look forward to welcoming you back when you are ready.
We loved this house. Of the houses we've rented that sleep 15-16, this was the best setup. Beach access is great. The basement gym and pool table were highly utilized. We enjoyed the large dining room for dinners and living room for hangouts. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. 15 adults (includes 7 college kids) slept comfortably. The house has all the furnishing to cook, made cocktails, relax, have a more formal dinner etc. We worried about street noise etc, but that wasn't an issue or concern, we barely noticed. Mid island is great for trips in either direction.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Sandy Bum!
We are a large group and need a big house. This checked of our boxes. 7 bedrooms, on the beach, with a swimming pool and a hot tub. Sandy Bum is a newer home with first class decorating. Anyone will love it. The island does have power issues and this trip was no different. The refrigerator was not working when we got there due to a power surge the night before according to the property manager. Neither was the ice maker. We were forced to put as much of the grocery items in the freezer to keep them from spoiling. They got it better by the 3rd day. They never tried to repair the ice maker which makes me wonder if it was ever working. I believe the property manager should have delivered a few bags everyday.
Over all we loved the house and would come back again.

Sorry to hear about the fridge and ice maker. In reality, it was working until the power surge which died the board. The ice maker is essential in my opinion and our family was using it just a couple weeks before your arrival. We were flying in parts to fix it but even on rush, it can take a week minimum to get things to the island. And yes, you should have been brought ice. We will make a note of that.
everything was great! perfect home for my family. esther the manager was informative and extremely helpful and easily accessible
loved the views of the water from house and pool.
thank you so much!!
We had a fabulous time at Sandy Bum. The house was perfect for our group and very well maintained. The property manager was very helpful with information and communication. We would highly recommend it and hope to revisit someday!
Our entire family enjoyed a wonderful 8 days at Sandy Bum. We had such a fun trip and could not say enough good things about how nice this home is. The pictures do not show just how nice it is. We have traveled all over the caribbean and also stayed in numerous homes in the Exumas and this is by far the most well stocked home we've stayed in. EVERYTHING you need for a gourmet meal or a full bartended drink are available. The beds are also the most comfortable we've slept in. The pool house is probably the nicest feature of the home. There is nothing else like it on the island. The pool easily accommodated our group of 16 comfortably and was a really nice hang out area. The home is located close to the airport and convenient to grocery shopping and downtown. The owners are incredibly responsive to any and all requests and are wonderful to work with. We'd recommend this to any large group coming to the island.
The Benz family came to Exuma on a whim in April of 2015 and decided this is the place we need to. Luckily we were renting from real-estate agent Judy Hurlock. Judy and Bill gave us great advice on how to move forward with our dream. On that visit, we found 2 connected beachfront lots on Tar Bay that had the most beautiful water and the longest stretch of beach we had seen. We were hooked. The long and trying process began to build what is now Sandy Bum. The name originated from watching our young children happily play in the surf for hours, collecting pounds of sand in their bathing suits. We have met many great people along the way that helped make all of this possible. Once on the island, you will understand why we love it-the combination of quiet relaxation and exciting exploration. Our goal was to make a modern house with all the comforts of home allowing you to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Exuma.
